Yes it does sound expensive.
Are the classes all of those Martial Arts combined in the classes or separate?
For me my dojo it is only a karate school with a little bit of Arnis thrown in when it suits my sensei (and only to the advanced adults class). And I only pay $85AUD ($66.36 US) which includes tax and that is a monthly fee (includes unlimited training, gradings, insurance, belts upon promotion).
then the only things we pay extra for are for mits + pads (most will normally buy the AKF or WKF Approved gear) which is usually rather expensive (can cost at a minimum $90 combined), groin guard (for males required), mouth guard (Not much $6 minimum). Then belts that we need to get replaced if it doesn't fit anymore or lost.
Finally Gi's; we get one standard when we pay and sign up to do the introductory lessons. Otherwise free to buy our own but they cost varying amounts from $30 (low range) to $200-300 for the better quality gi (ie Seishin, Tokaido etc) |

Hey amolao,
I think it would be hard for people to say if it was expensive without more info. Where do you live? For example, in San Francisco, you'll have a hard time finding a nice 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo for less then $3,000 a month. But that's the cost of living out there. So it sort of depends on where you are, just as much as anything else.

I'm from NJ and we are limited as far as styles to choose from unless you're from Phylly or NYC. the teacher open up a new school he teaches mon wed and fri. one week he'll teach striking the next week grappling and throw a little krav maga there are no contracts you buy what he calls credits so if you train all 3 days of the week in a month it comes to $180 |
